Liu Bei was a little dumbfounded, Qiu Ming had this gold medal that I was there and he knew, but wasn't it specially approved by going to Mangdang Mountain to get the gold kui? Don't you have to take it back when you're done with it? He didn't expect that Liu Hong only cared about eating, drinking and having fun, how could he keep such a trivial matter in mind, and Qiuming himself would not take the initiative to hand it in, so he was so confused.

Zhang Fei saw that his eldest brother was about to hold back, and he narrowed his eyes and said: "Qiuming, don't pretend to be a ghost, when I was in Luoyang, the Son of Heaven had already died, do you still want to take a dead man's thing?" ”

A sneer broke out of Qiu Ming's mouth, and just as he was about to speak, Liu Bei had already shouted angrily: "Yide shut up, the Son of Heaven is supreme, how can the gold medal allow you to blaspheme?" Zhang Fei suddenly didn't dare to say any more, but Qiu Ming only looked at Liu Bei with his eyes to see if he knelt or not.

Under Qiuming's gaze, Liu Bei's anger gradually subsided, and a sad look appeared in his eyes, as if he had been poked into tears, and suddenly burst into tears: "Your Majesty was killed by a traitor, causing the mountains and rivers to change color, and the society was covered with dust, Liu Bei felt ...... every time he thought of this. Alas, Your Majesty, Your Majesty. After saying that, he cried loudly, as if the heavens and the earth were shattering and the rivers were turbulent, almost suppressing the sunset outside the window to a dull light, and I don't know how many birds flew away.

Qiu Ming knew that Liu Bei had this nirvana, so he didn't show anything abnormal, just watched coldly, and in what he and Wei Yan often said, he quietly watched you pretend.

But Liu Bei cried more and more, and the more he cried, the more sad he became, crying from the west to the full moon in the west building, and it seemed that he had no intention of ending. Guan Yu and Cui Jie cried with Liu Bei for a while, but finally there were no of his almost endless tears, and they quickly stopped crying in embarrassment and stood aside with each other's faces.

Qiu Ming wanted to spend it with Liu Bei like this, to see how many tears he had, and whether he could apply for a Guinness Book of Records or something. But he didn't eat anything at noon in Nieyang, and at this moment he heard his stomach gurgling, and it was estimated that Liu Bei had not cried to death, and he himself had already starved to death. Qiu Ming had no choice but to say to Liu Bei: "Okay, let's each make a move, I won't worship you in the future, you won't kneel to me, and you won't put up any stand in front of me and call me an official, everyone will be fine." ”

It's also strange to say, Liu Bei was crying so much that he was heartbroken last second, as soon as Qiu Ming's words came out, he immediately stopped in the rain, and there was only a slight convulsion. Dian Wei and Zhou Tai were both amazed, but Guan Yu was ashamed, but fortunately, his original face was like a heavy jujube, and no one could see if the color was darker.

Qiu Ming was also a little ridiculous, and took the opportunity to say: "There is nothing wrong with the villagers in the small village in the northeast of Nieyang, Xuande might as well let them go, and you can be regarded as a benevolent government and a son who loves the people." ”

Before Liu Bei could speak, Cui Jie on the side craned his neck and said, "No, these Diao people openly resisted taxes and injured several of my servants, how can they say that they will be released?" ”

Qiu Ming thought to himself that those villagers really avoided the truth and did not say anything like violent tax resistance, but Cui Jie had already been governed by himself and was not even a person who came out of the gate, but now he dared to contradict himself, who gave him the courage? Liang Jingru?

Qiu Ming was thinking so, Liu Jingru, no, Liu Bei also answered: "What Lieutenant Cui said is that a gentleman is benevolent, but he does not tolerate the people who violate the law. I don't know who gave them the courage to resist taxes and not pay taxes, beat up the errand soldiers, and it is not okay to deal with them seriously. ”

Qiu Ming sank his face and said: "If you have a family fortune of more than 100,000 yuan, you have to pay taxes?" What kind of tax is this? How come I've never heard of it? ”

Liu Bei waved his hand, and from his expression and attitude, he didn't look like a person who had just cried for an hour or two: "This is my new tax, because you have not been in the county, so it is not strange that you don't know." Since I arrived in Dengzhou, I have seen that the fields here are barren and the crops are withering. In order for the people to have a bite to eat, it is necessary to open up wasteland, build water conservancy, and plant mulberry hemp, all of which require money. What's wrong with me collecting taxes from the private sector and using them to build infrastructure and improve their lives? But these people not only didn't understand, but also rallied to violently resist taxes, and I had to lock them up and calm down and make them realize their mistakes. ”

Liu Bei finished speaking earnestly, and shed a few tears of hatred for iron and steel, but Qiu Ming seemed to be listening to a fairy tale: "Dengzhou is rich and known to the world, and the people you are talking about are not boring or something, are you sure you are talking about Dengzhou?" ”

Liu Bei shook his head slightly: "You are also a smart person, why can't you figure this out?" Money is something outside the body, and the land is the foundation of life, even if there is more gold, you can't buy food in times of emergency. ”

Qiu Ming was anxious all of a sudden: "I can't buy food in an emergency, that's because I don't have a rainy day, and if I have money in my hand, I can buy food in advance." You see that now Dengzhou, whether it is an official warehouse or a righteous warehouse, is it full of Deng, doesn't it explain the problem? ”

Liu Bei said: "This is a problem with your thinking, if it weren't for my many years of friendship with you, I would think that you are a big traitor." Since ancient times, the people have taken food as the sky, and you are doing this to make the people give up the whole sky for a little profit? ”

Qiu Ming was angry, so he argued with Liu Bei in the hall, and after a few rounds, Liu Bei patted the shocking wood: "I don't fight with you about agriculture or business now, but now I am the county commander, and you are the county minister, so my words should prevail." If the villagers fail to pay their taxes on time, they must remain in detention unless they ......," he said, looking meaningfully at Tyumin, "unless they can find someone willing to pay for them." ”

Seeing his eyes, Qiu Ming's heart suddenly brightened, taxes and arresting people are all pretenses, Liu Bei's real purpose is to ask Qiu Ming to obediently take out the money himself, let him implement benevolent government, and gain a good reputation of benevolence and love for the people. No wonder so many villages in Dengzhou didn't choose, but chose the one closest to Wancheng, so that as soon as Qiuming came back from Luoyang, he could witness it with his own eyes, and the rest of the matter could happen naturally.

Qiu Ming took a deep breath: "Since you have already decided so, I have nothing to say, it is getting late today, I have to go home to see, let's talk about these things later." After speaking, he ignored Liu Bei's stunned expression for a moment, and strode out of the county office.

The night was full of darkness, and the night breeze was blowing, so that Tyumen was finally in the mood to start sorting out his chaotic thoughts. Attaching importance to business development, this is the unique vision and experience of Tyumen as a traverser, although it is somewhat incompatible with the education and philosophy of this era, but the success of Dengzhou has proved that Tyumen is correct, can't Liu Bei see this? At this time, he heard Dian Wei say: "Go back and eat quickly, my stomach is going to be hungry, aren't you hungry?" ”
